I am sitting here listening to Daraboka, Arabic music from Egypt that I picked up in Dahab. My right ring finger is getting a little excited, twitching up and down and doing a little dance. This is because it hears music from home….?
Once again, my finger that I cut diving the Red Sea shipwreck, the Thislegorm, almost 2 MONTHS AGO, is re-infected and on fire. I went to the doctor yesterday and he said that there are nasty marine bacterias that live in the tissue and never die. Like any good American doctor, he gave me a lifetime supply of antibiotics and told me to call him later. When it starts oozing, he wants a sample for a culture. Just think, a little piece of Egypt will be alive inside of me forever. (too bad its eating my finger)
Wow - I knew that it was a bad dive, but this is my third round of antibiotics and I have fought this thing for 2 months. Its under my fingernail and my finger is numb below the last knuckle anyway, I am seriously contemplating just offing the damn thing to be done with it, I only type with 2 fingers anyway!
